Sailboats Lyrics - An Airplane Carried Me To Bed - Sky Sailing

Sailboats wish that they were stars 

Floating softly in the sky 

Among our dreams that bid goodbye 

Moving through transparent space 

Drifting through the stratosphere 

And onward 'til they disappear 

These continents from overhead 

Look like tiny paper shapes 

Intricately set in place 

Below the misty mountain clouds 

There's a lovely silver bay 

Where sunset sailors often hideaway 

Scuba diver in the loch 

Speedboat driver on the dock 

Sailplane pilot in the blue 

Take me up there with you 

The world looks brighter 

From this high altitude 

I was walking through the trees 

(Sailboats wish that they were stars) 

And I was swimming through the seas 

('Cause they don't know who they are) 

I was falling through the air 

When it hit me right there 

My eyes are tired, I don't even care 

An airplane carried me to bed 

Where I slept above the coast 

And dreamt I had become a ghost 

I sail above the frozen peaks 

Deep in cold cathedral caves 

Across the hills and far beyond the waves 

Take the car on the run 

Fly the jet to the sun 

And bring the spacecraft in soon 

While I play chess with the moon 

I feel like sleeping 

Through this cold afternoon 

Once in 1964 

(Sailboats wish that they were stars) 

An actress ran on the shore 

('Cause they don't know who they are) 

And though you'll never return 

I love you, Audrey Hepburn 

Sometimes I can see your face in the crowd 

There are sailboats throughout this brilliant sky 

But you cannot pick them out if you can't fly 

I'm glad the earth doesn't care if I go up there 

If you want to just ask me and I'll take you along
